TL;DR: The nasopharynx is a reservoir for microbes associated with acute respiratory infections (ARIs) and targeting pathogenic bacteria within the NP microbiome could represent a prophylactic approach to asthma.

TL;DR: It is suggested that deeply phenotyped cohort studies combined with sophisticated network models will be required to derive the next generation of biological and clinical insights in asthma pathogenesis.

TL;DR: An informal journal club is offered, designed to bring together a diversity of backgrounds and career stages to discuss bioinformatics while building a network of like-minded peers, applicable to developing informal journal clubs of all disciplines.

TL;DR: The data identify the NP microbiome as a determinant for infection spread to the lower airways, severity of accompanying inflammatory symptoms, and risk for future asthma development.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors apply the constraintless Clairaut-type formalism to the Cho-Duan-Ge decomposition in $SU(2)$ QCD and find nontrivial corrections to the physical equations of motion and that the contribution of the topological degrees of freedom is qualitatively different from that found by treating the monopole potential as though it were dynamic.
